A car was left almost unrecognizable after a crash Tuesday morning, but authorities say the driver was somehow able to get away.

The crash happened just before 7:30 a.m. off of Lake Camanche Parkway in Burson.

Exactly what led up to the crash is unclear, but photos from the scene taken by Calaveras Consolidated Fire revealed how the car was nearly obliterated after it hit a tree.

First responders say the driver was nowhere in sight.

"We can't figure out how anyone could have walked away from this accident," Calaveras Consolidated Fire wrote on Facebook.
